Welcome to the Steakboyz – meat lovers who unselfishly work their way through restaurants around the world, eating copious amounts of beef so you know where all the best places are to tuck into juicy, delicious slabs of meat.

How to Slice Steak

The way you slice your steak can make a world of difference. You've probably read time and again that meat should be sliced "against the grain." Well – I hope you have. In fact it’s just as important as resting the meat if you want to enjoy the tenderest steak.

The actual live weight to retail cuts yield varies, and is dependent on various factors such as breed, fat to muscle ratio, cutting order, and age.

Steak School

The red liquid in your steak is not blood! Nearly all the blood is removed from the meat during the slaughter process. “Red” meats are composed of a fair bit of water, which mixed with a protein called myoglobin, ends up making up most of that red liquid.

Butter-Aging

The Newest Trend in Steaks
Trendy chefs around the world are submerging beef cuts in a cocoon of butter to produce obscenely tender and decadent steaks.

The Science of Meat

A simple chemical reaction
Cooking a delicious piece of meat over a grill, barbecue or in a pan often requires knowing top-secret culinary tricks, and many hours in the kitchen. Speed, experience and timing are important – as is the chemical reaction that takes place. Time to dust off the cobwebs, and spark up the Bunsen burner again. 

What is Wagyu beef?

Why is the Japanese beef so special?
Many beef buffs are familiar with Wagyu, invoking visions of marbled cuts from pampered cows being fed beer and listening to classical music. Wagyu is renowned for being so tender it literally melts in your mouth.
